The rooftop brings the crowd to you

The building's rooftop is an active event venue hosting weddings, corporate events and private parties year-round. For a tenant downstairs, that means a steady stream of pre-event dinners, after-parties, catering and overflow guests.

A dense, young beach town the boutique wave skipped

About 26,000 residents live in roughly 4.3 square miles, around 70 times the U.S. average density. That puts an entire customer base inside a ten-minute drive, the cheapest customers any studio, clinic or café can get.

Six concepts this building was built for

Who fits where, what the local demand looks like, and what you skip by starting here instead of a raw box.

Suite 102 · 1,586 sq ft + 1,054 sq ft courtyard
Boutique reformer pilates and heated yoga
0dedicated boutique studios in a city of about 26,000, next to a Navy SEAL training complex
Why here
Imperial Beach packs about 26,000 residents into 4.3 square miles, and the boutique fitness wave skipped it. The U.S. Pilates market is about $4.8B, growing near 10% a year, with reformer classes running around 94% full. 1,586 sq ft fits 8 to 12 reformers plus a lobby, retail wall and changing rooms, and the courtyard and rooftop add outdoor classes, sunrise sessions and retreats.
What you skip
Months of permitting: the use permits are already granted
Structural and acoustic work for a heated, impact-rated room
Building an outdoor class area: the courtyard is shared
A frontage search: you're on the main corridor by the pier
Someone signs first here. The only question is whether it's you or the operator who tours next week.
Suite 201, or Suite 102 + courtyard
Sunset wine bar and small plates
1west-facing sunset room in the building
Why here
The corridor already has Brigantine, Mike Hess, Pizza Port and Sammy's, but no dedicated sunset wine-and-small-plates room with open west views. San Diego County drew about 32 million visitors in FY2024. A wine bar runs lighter on the kitchen with higher margins, and the rooftop's 152-guest events feed it directly.
What you skip
The permit process for alcohol-forward dining, dancing and events
Grease interceptor and commercial hood installation
Building outdoor service space: terraces and courtyard exist
Marketing spend to create event demand: the rooftop books it
The operator who signs Suite 201 owns the sunset. Everyone after that competes with it.
Suite 201 · Divisible
Boutique med spa and aesthetics
$1.4Maverage revenue per single med spa location in 2024
Why here
Med spas live and die on location. Within one mile, average household income is $148,275 and 38.8% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, and there's no med spa in Imperial Beach today. The second floor gives a clinic privacy, plumbing and elevator access at a lower rate than ground-floor retail, sized anywhere from 2,000 to 4,235 sq ft.
What you skip
Second-floor elevator and ADA restroom build-out
Core mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in
Paying a frontage premium for space a clinic doesn't need
A long approval path: the building's use permissions are broad
The second med spa to look at this market will be leasing next to the first one.
Suite 102 · 1,586 sq ft + 1,054 sq ft courtyard
Health café: juice, bowls, protein, brunch
6 figuresof kitchen infrastructure already installed, saving roughly six months
Why here
Street frontage on a corridor with about 20,678 cars a day, plus pier and beach walk-ups and a 1,054 sq ft courtyard. San Diego County adults are more active than the national average, and Imperial Beach's median age is about 35. A juice, bowl and brunch spot catches post-class traffic from a studio next door all day. (Coffee is held by Cafecito on Seacoast.)
What you skip
Grease interceptor sizing, permitting and installation
Commercial hood and make-up air: installed and inspected
Building outdoor seating: the courtyard is shared
The food-use approval process
That kitchen infrastructure will be attached to someone's concept by next quarter.
Suite 201, or a divided portion
Creative content and production studio
2open-air terraces plus rooftop access for natural-light shoots
Why here
There's almost no purpose-built, view-forward location studio south of downtown San Diego. Soundproofed 2024 construction gives audio-grade rooms for podcasts and video without retrofits, and 4,235 sq ft fits two or three studios plus a control room and green room. Studios bill by the hour across photo, video, UGC, podcast and brand events.
What you skip
Acoustic treatment for sound-sensitive rooms
Freight and gear access: the elevator is dedicated
Building exterior sets: terraces and rooftop exist
Long permitting: creative office use is allowed
Once this floor is a studio, the next operator is renting hours from their competitor.
Suite 201 · Hybrid
Coastal workspace and membership club
+25%year-over-year occupancy growth for suburban and coastal coworking
Why here
65% of new coworking memberships are bought within a 15-minute commute of home, and Imperial Beach has no ocean-view membership workspace. Suite 201 supports a members' lounge, private offices, a conference room and event programming, bundled with studio hours and rooftop access. Start with part of the floor and grow into it.
What you skip
Second-floor elevator and ADA restroom build-out
Building outdoor member space: terraces are included
Finding offsite event space: the rooftop is upstairs
Approval risk: office and membership use is permitted
The first ocean-view workspace in this city gets the founding members. The second gets whoever's left.
Not a fit: ghost or delivery-only kitchens, and coffee concepts (coffee on site is held by Cafecito on Seacoast). If your idea is close to one of the six above, the building is more flexible than the floor plan looks, so ask.
